# Onera Satellite Change Detection Dataset - RGB - Cropped to 96x96 patches

<!-- Provide a quick summary of the dataset. -->

The Onera Satellite Change Detection dataset addresses the issue of detecting changes between satellite images from different dates.

It comprises 24 pairs of multispectral images taken from the Sentinel-2 satellites between 2015 and 2018. Locations are picked all over the world, in Brazil, USA, Europe, Middle-East and Asia. For each location, registered pairs of 13-band multispectral satellite images obtained by the Sentinel-2 satellites are provided. Images vary in spatial resolution between 10m, 20m and 60m.

Pixel-level change ground truth is provided for all 14 training and 10 test image pairs. The annotated changes focus on urban changes, such as new buildings or new roads. These data can be used for training and setting parameters of change detection algorithms.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

The images were cropped to 96x96 patches to enable direct usage with the standard protocol.

- **License:** CC BY-NC-SA

### Dataset Sources

<!-- Provide the basic links for the dataset. -->

- **Homepage:** [https://rcdaudt.github.io/oscd/](https://rcdaudt.github.io/oscd/)
- **Paper:** [ArXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.08468)

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the dataset is intended to be used. -->

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

oscd96 = load_dataset("blaz-r/OSCD_RGB_Cropped_96")

>>> oscd96["train"]
# single "sample" with 3 features: "imageA", "imageB", "label"
```

### Recommended protocol

If you use this dataset, we encourage you to also consider following the evaluation protocol disscused in paper:

**Be the Change You Want to See: Revisiting Remote Sensing Change Detection Practices**
[Paper (arXiv)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.03367)  
[Paper (TGRS)](https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2025.3585342)  

This protocol (Sec III-B) standardizes evaluation across change detection benchmarks and helps ensure fair and reproducible comparisons.
